Brass Band
Comprised of roughly thirty students, the Brass Band performs a varied repertoire of brass literature. The ensemble works with both a flexible "pool" concept so that each work in the curriculum is staffed with the instrumentation envisioned by the composer. Concerts for the Brass Band will be shared with other groups, but occasionally the group may perform at special events. The Brass Band is open to music majors and non-majors by audition, and is only offered in the Spring semester.
